Hmm.. Not my favorite, but one I've had on my mind: did you know computers are unable to do math with decimals properly? This is due to what is known as Floating Point Arithmetic (FP), in which a decimal value is split into two parts: the integer (the number to the left of the radix point / dot) and the "number" (the number to the right of it.) This decimal has a finite amount of digits to hold its value.
The more numbers you have at the front of the radix point, the less numbers you have at the end of it, which means the number gets less precise as it gets larger. (If you have only 3 decimals and you multiply 4.99 by 10, you'd get 49.9, then 499. It gets less precise as it goes on, eventually removing the precision entirely.) A good example for this would be the Farlands in Minecraft, where if you go out too far and your coordinates get larger, there is less space for the precision at the end, which is why when you get out there, your movement is more sharp and unexpected, less smooth.
Also, I haven't seen gameplay of No, I'm Not a Human, but he looks quite scary. I may check it out after I get off work today.
